• Crock Pot Chimichurri Steak

  Posted on by Valerie in Uncategorized.

  The word “chimichurri” might make you think of that silly little ditty from Mary Poppin’s chimney sweep friend, but I assure you, there is nothing dirty or British about this recipe (not that the two are synonymous!). I think of chimichurri sauce as an Argentinian version of pesto, but with parsley instead of basil.  I […]

  Crock Pot Stuffing Balls

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  Stuffing is an under-appreciated side dish. It completely defines a Thanksgiving dinner and can sometimes be found at kitschy homecooking restaurants, but there is no reason to leave it alone for the rest of the year. Plus, it’s a great way to use leftover or stale bread. The more variety you use in your bread […]

  Crock Pot Tuna Casserole

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  OK, so this one might seem a little like “school lunch”, but I like the combination of creamy noodles and easy protein. Anytime I make this in the oven, I always wind up burning the edges. When I make it in the crock pot, it keeps the meal warm and creamy and doesn’t get crispy crusts.  […]

  Crock Pot Vegetarian Chicken Chili

  Posted on by Valerie in Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  Did you catch the title?? Does it sound like a contradiction to say “vegetarian” and then “chicken” in the same meal?! It is not. Thanks to modern day culinary creativity, I can make chicken chili for friends that don’t want to eat meat.  This is a pretty easy recipe, but I like that it is […]

• Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Casserole

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  One of my favorite dishes that my grandmother made is cabbage rolls, but honestly– who has time for all the steps?! I have made them before in the crock pot (use the search function to see my recipe) but today’s version is even easier. It has almost all the same components, but only takes a […]

  Crock Pot Baked Ziti with Mini Meatballs

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, vegetarian.

  We love pasta.  Sometimes in a rediculous way. I don’t know if that makes me a carb-a-vore or a carb-a-whore, but either way, it’s one of my favorite meals to make… and eat. I especially like when the kids eat pasta because I know that the sauce sneaks in lots of great vegetables and nutrients. […]

• Crock Pot Inside Out Stuffed Peppers

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes.

  Stuffed peppers are a delicious union of textures and are meant for slow cooking. But sometimes, the prep work of cutting and chopping and mixing and stuffing is just too much.  Consider this my recipe for “inside out stuffed peppers”. I’ve figured out a way to get that same great result with even less time. It […]

  Vinaigrette Salad

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes, vegetarian.

  “To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist — the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one’s vinegar.” Oscar Wilde 1856-1900, British Author Dinner was not a crock last night. We grilled out brats and had cold side dishes, drank […]

• Crock Pot Creamy Corn

  Posted on by Valerie in Side dishes, vegetarian.

  Not to be too corny, but I’m a big fan of corn. I love fresh local corn on the cob in the summer, corn chowder soup in the winter, corn muffins, popcorn at the movies, canned cream corn, kettle corn at the apple festival, even cooking with corn oil. I’ve got some great leftover meat […]

• Crock Pot Potato Soup

  Posted on by Valerie in Dinner, Recipes, Side dishes.

  My 93-year-old grandmother-in-law was visiting last week and the woman is amazing.  She is clear minded and sound of body. She might not win the race, but she will definitely reach the finish line. She loves her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and hates to be idle. So when she was here visiting and offered to help […]
